Gwinnett wants to amend IE2 contract, plans public hearing

The Gwinnett County school board will hold a public hearing from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. on April 18 on proposals to amend the school system’s IE2 contract. The move to an IE2 system was approved in 2009, with the agreement that the system would meet higher student achievement measures in exchange for freedom from some state requirements. Officials say the amendments are needed to reflect changes at the state and level, new schools and the phasing out of the state high school graduation test. The hearing is at the school system’s central office, 437 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee.
